The program addresses the need areas of self care, personal & social independence, vocational and community based experiences, and functional academics.

This group includes our higher functioning students with autism.

Main Street, Cogswell Building on the ASD Campus and access student services at the University of Hartford campus. Students are employed in a variety of on-campus and community based jobs.
